Partner Relationships

Scenario 1 of 3

You are a partner in a radiology group practice. A physician partner of yours is working in the same reading room as you. While you are working separately, the proximity of the workstations is such that you can easily converse with each other. You are able to hear this physician talk on the phone with a referring office, and you hear your partner talk in a disparaging manner to the referring office, stating, “Your office is terrible; it never sends the previous images for comparison and then expects me to make an addendum to my report when you finally get around to it. I am too busy right now, and you will just have to wait until I have time.”
